Where is the mistake?

I can not seem to find the particular mistake, which denies me the access to the next task. Help would be highly appreciated!

GoKart.java
class GoKart {
  private String color = "red";

  public String getColor() {
    return color;

  public GoKart (String color) {

}

  }

}

I guess you have to initialize your constructor :

public GoKart (String color) { this.color = color; }

1 Answer

Curly braces in wrong spot.

Do it like this:

class GoKart {
  private String color = "red";

  public String getColor() {
    return color;
  }

  public GoKart (String color) {
  }

}

I found the mistake, got rather frustrated because I could not find it at first - but thank you very much!
